Abstract: |
An archaeological recording brief was undertaken during the excavation of an 'L' shaped foundation trench within the Proposed Development Area (PDA). The excavations revealed the underlying sandstone natural just 0.2m below the surface with three rock-cut features: two parallel gulleys; a post hole with substantial packing stones. The post hole has been dated to the Norman Period (late 11th/early 13th centuries). The two gullies contained Post Medieval pottery however appeared to relate to relatively recent historical disturbance. The post hole probably relates to the early Spofforth Castle or later Manor House. |
